Firma S.J. Baalde were the printers chosen by
Pieter Cramer
to print and colour the engravings of
Gerrit Wartenaar,
in Cramer's multi-volume book
After Cramer died in 1776,
Casper Stoll
undertook the work of finishing the publication of Cramer's book,
still using Wartenaar for the engravings, and Firma S.J. Balde for printing and coloring.
For the multi-volume book: every page of printed engravings was painted by hand
using watercolor paints by the staff of Firma S.J. Baalde
to match accurately the original paintings by Cramer and Stoll.
